Head through to the kitchen, where the designated chef of your group can create delicious dishes to enjoy around the dining table; alternatively, move outside to the enclosed garden where you can bask in the sun’s rays and enjoy an alfresco delight.

Be sure to also take advantage of the bubbling hot tub, a welcomed luxury after a day of exploring your surroundings on foot. On cooler evenings, gather around the woodburning stove in the living/dining room, cosying up on the double sofa bed and feeling the warmth of the fire as conversation turns to your exciting itinerary for the upcoming days.

When sleep calls, retreat to either of the two bedrooms to get some rest, the king-size bedroom is the perfect place to enjoy a movie night with its own TV, while the twin bedroom is ideal for the younger members of your group. In the morning, take a trip to the charming seaside town of Swanage, where you can explore a range of traditional attractions, including the seaside railway, the iconic pier, and the Swanage Museum.

Great place to stay with all your mod cons and in an ideal location to Swanage town centre and plenty to do on the doorstep.
FLOOR CREEKS VERY BAD IN THE HALLWAY DUE EXPANSION . ONE WINDOW IN THE LIVING ROOM DOOR BOARDED UP AND HELD IN WITH DUCT TAPE , ONLY ONE TEASPOON IN THE CUTTLERY DRAWER .A BIT DATED .THE RESTUARANT ,IF YOU BOOK, YOU GET A TABLE CLOTH ,IF YOU JUST WALK IN FOR A MEAL YOU DO NOT GET ONE . APART FROM THAT NOT TOO BAD ,SLEPT WELL . PARKING FEES IN SWANAGE VERY HIGH ,STUDLAND YOU WILL NEED A MORTGAGE TO PAY FOR PARKING .
Rebecca
This cosy little cottage has everything you need for a perfect stay from a hot tub in a secure garden ready for you to relax and our dog loved sniffing round the garden. The bathroom had an amazing shower the kitchen had all mod coms so our week here was amazing. We asked for the rose bush to be be tied back as it was overhanging on the path and they came round to do that and cut the grass too. The hot tub was checked every morning too. Would highly recommended a stay here.
Shirley
Wonderful stay at Rose Cottage. Great location easy to get in to Swanage and short drives to other attractions in the area. Hot tub went down a treat. Very comfy beds. Great enclosed garden for the dog. Lovely site, nice little shop. Very friendly staff
Michael
Please include hand soap in the bathroom. Some shampoo and shower soap would be nice, but at the very least provide soap after someone uses the toilet.
The cottage appeared to be clean on available, but it came apparent the bathroom had not been cleaned appropriately for sometime. It was evident a cloth had been sweeped across the bathroom , but the shower had black mould around joints and rust on the shower head. The toilet had an horrible bad drains smell, the sink had black mould around the joints and the corner bath plug had a large amount of dark long hair booking the flow of the water when attempting to empty the bath. The kitchen only had one roasting tray so made matters difficult to cook a roast dinner. No mop or hoover, no plug for kitchen sink which was a light brown colour. The floors had not been moped. I purchased a mop, brush and dust pan plus a baking tray. We did ask for a mop and brush which we did receive only to find on r retrun home from a day out that they had removed it from the cottage. I spent my valuable holiday time purchasing toilet blocks, bathroom cleaner, mopping the cottages floors and cleaning the bathrooms but not the shower because it just made me feel sooo unclean. The towel radiator had rust all over it The toilet blocks helped remove the horrible drain smell , the hair removed from.the corner bath and bathroom nice and clean and no mould in sight, except the shower. The baking tray l purchased helped to make up an evening meal without stressing. I am able to provide photos. Would like some money back for the time wasted cleaning the bathroom etc
Michelle
We had the most amazing stay at Rose Cottage. It really completed our Christmas and gave a touch of extra magic. The hot tub was fantastic, the enclosed garden was perfect for our dog, the log burner provided a cosy retreat after a day exploring the coast. The beds were extremely comfortable and there was everything we needed in the cottage. Location was perfect! Our only small complaint although it isn't a complaint but more of an observation, there is a very unpleasant smell coming from the drains in the bathroom which, if the door is left open, you can smell throughout the cottage. Regardless, we had the most wonderful stay and will be back for sure!

Rose Cottage is quirky, homely and a beautiful place to nestle for a few days. The hot tub of an evening was amazing to relax in. There is lots to do nearby, Swanage town is busy and plenty of boutiques and shops, the beach is gorgeous and nearby Corfe Castle is a must see, especially at night when it's lit up. I would thoroughly recommend this site and cottage and will definitely book this property again. When we arrived the little touches such as the Christmas tree and logs for the fire were lovely and made it even more cosy. The only thing missing that would have been handy, due to the wet weather, is a floor mop and the oven interior is missing part of the shelf supports at the rear so the metal shelves are slanted making it awkward to cook when you put the trays in. Other than that everything was perfect. Thank you for

Loch Lomond Sealife Centre - G83 8QL
about 6 Miles
The perfect place to visit on a rainy day this large Sealife Centre is currently offering 2 tickets for £15.00 when you book online. Top attractions include the amazing shark tunnel, the rock pools and the otter enclosure. This year Loch Lomond Sealife Centre is also home to Cammy - the only Giant Sea Turtle in Scotland! The centre also offers visitors an educational experience with talks and hands on events taking place daily.
Monkey World - BH20 6HH
about 11 Miles
Monkey World is not only a local attraction but the work they carry out is amazing.  Rescuing and rehabilitating monkeys and assisting governments around the world to stop the smuggling of primates are just some of the purposes of the centre. You get to see the primates themselves many of which have become famous from appearing on the TV show Monkey World - a documentary about this place. Open year round we think this is one of best attractions in Dorset and you even get the chance to adopt a monkey if you choose.
Kingston Maurward Gardens and Animal Park - DT2 8PY
about 19 Miles
Kingston Maurward Gardens and Animal Park is a magical place to visit with grand gardens and plenty of animals to meet.  From goats and ponies to alpacas and pot bellied pigs this attraction is excellent value for money.  You can feel free to explore the grounds too which are especially lovely on sunny days.  You will see majestic floral displays, stone terraces, a temple and even a lake.
Dorset Teddy Bear Museum - DT1 1JU
about 20 Miles
This family orientated museum is dedicated to Teddy Bears both old and new Edward Bear and his family of people sized bears are one of the main attractions.  You can buy teddy bear gifts from the quaint shop including top notch brands.  The Steiff Teddy Bear and Merrythought bears are very popular.  Open 7 days a week all year round (except 25th and 26th December) this is a perfect all weather place to visit.
Fort Victoria - PO41 0RR
about 21 Miles
Fort Victoria is many attractions in one convenient location. What once was a historically important fort is now home to a Marine Aquarium, a Model Railway, a Sea Bed Archaeology Exhibition and a Planetarium. The Country Park also offers delightful woodland walks. Countryside Rangers are on hand to give guided walks of the seashore and the woodland. Admission to the park is free of charge but each of the attractions incur a small charge.
Play & Farm Park - PO31 8PE
about 28 Miles
Described as the Isle of Wight's multi activity and play Farm park this attraction will really appeal to families looking for a fun day out.  Recently improvements have been made to enlarge the straw fun play barn and this is now the biggest indoor play space on the island.  This farm is now split into separate attractions, the play barns and petting farm which include rides on tractors and trailors and the tractor driving experience. Open all year this place is also excellent value for money.
Paultons Family Theme Park - SO51 6AL
about 29 Miles
This is a really fun and memorable attraction which is suitable for day trips or short breaks.  You can buy your tickets online which will help you beat the queues especially in school holidays as well as save money.  With a whole host of attractions and thrilling rides there might not be enough time in the day!  Exciting rides include the Edge and The Cobra.  More family friendly rides for younger children include the Magic Carpet Ride and the Flying Frog.  We are sure the whole family will have fun at Paultons so check out their website for the latest opening times and admission costs.
Paultons Park - SO51 6AL

Paultons Family Theme Park has recently been greatly improved to include many new attractions for younger visitors. The brand new Peppa Pig World features 7 amazing new rides and an Indoor Play Area to keep the little ones amused for hours. Of course those looking for more adrenaline boosting activities will not be disappointed either as there are over 60 rides in total to try out. The mighty Edge ride and the terrifying Cobra rollercoaster are the ones to go for if white knuckle rides are your thing. Live entertainment is also on offer several times throughout the season including some amazing family shows such as "The Light Fantastic" which takes place this October.
